He paused, then offered, "But if you beg me, I could give you five million. After all, you've been with me for so many years."Yeah… I had been with him all those years. I stuck by him when he had nothing.Back then, Charles was just a broke student whom everyone constantly looked down on, and he sometimes couldn't even afford a full meal.I stayed by his side, turning system points into financial support so he could keep going to classes.After graduation, he had no 'main character' perks, and misfortune seemed to follow him everywhere. Every so-called "chosen one" walked all over him.It was me, time and again, who had used all the system points I had accumulated to clear the way for him. I pulled him from the mud and eventually helped him rise to become Broxia's richest man.I let out a bitter laugh, staring at the man I had poured everything into helping. Now, he was like a complete stranger.Rain blurred my vision as I looked at Charles. My words were sharp and clear as I s

My eyes burned red, and my chest felt heavy with helplessness.Then, something happened that shocked everyone even more.Charles suddenly dropped to one knee. In full view of the entire crowd, he placed the necklace around Natalia's neck."Natalia, will you marry me?"The hall erupted in gasps.Natalia's hands flew to her mouth in surprise as tears sparkled in her eyes."Yes! I will!"At that moment, a cold, mechanical voice rang in my head. "Host, your mission has failed.""Melissa, since you refuse to see reason, your mission will never be completed."I stood rooted to the spot.

From now on, you're trapped in this world forever. There's no leaving."His words dripped with triumph, and his eyes burned with an obsessive light."Melissa, you're too unruly. Weren't you always saying you wan

He slammed his phone onto the ground, shattering the screen into pieces.After that, Charles liquidated every personal asset he had, including mortgaging the small apartment we'd bought during our startup days, just to try to bend me to his will in this silent battle.He groveled, called in every favor, and begged every connection he could think of, until he finally secured one last chance to bid.For this golden opportunity, Charles stayed up nights preparing a five-hundred-page proposal.During the launch presentation, the combination of anxiety and malnutrition nearly made him collapse on stage. Yet his pitch was solid enough to impress several key judges.The night before the results would be announced, he barely slept. His nerves were stretched to the breaking point.…The next day, at the bidding ceremony, the host stepped forward. "After a rigorous review by our expert panel, the winner of the 'Smart City Cloud Data Processing Center' project is…"Charles held his breath

The room was completely empty, and there was not a trace of me ever having lived there."Where's Melissa's stuff?" Charles suddenly grabbed the collar of a staff member who had rushed in. His eyes were bloodshot as he shouted at the poor woman.The staff member stammered in terror, "M-Mr. Sawyer, on the day Ms. McBride resigned, she had all her belongings cleared out. She said that everything here made her feel sick."At that moment, another assistant rushed in."Mr. Sawyer! We found it! The source of the company's cash-flow collapse six months ago, which was responsible for the chain reaction, was that overseas renewable energy project handled by Ms. Leigh."Charles' face contorted.
